BYSTOLIC  (NEBIVOLOL HYDROCHLORIDE):  Nebivolol is used to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as beta blockers. It works by blocking the action of certain natural substances in your body, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels. This effect lowers heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.   FDA Approval Date: 2008-10-08 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  HBP Life-threatening seizure, still medicating and seeing neurologist nearly 4 years later. No more seizures after the one mentioned. DISCONTINUED immediately. Side effects got increasingly worse/more noticeable each day. Zombie-like behavior and confusion just before stroke-like symptoms that were pre-cursors for the seizure according to stroke dr., seizure dr., and neurologist. This experience has been a very costly to our family, financially, and personally due to the stess because of Bystolic. M 66 6 months

 1  High blood pressure Extreme fatigue, weakness, zombie like feeling. I have lost interest in any activities. I don't want to be around people at all. Joint pain in my left knee and right elbow. Get winded if I have to climb stairs or walk too far. Nausea and a disconnected from the world feeling.The fatigue is the worst because I am normally a very energetic person. I am also getting pain in my chest with tightness as well. I feel like I am 90yrs old. I am going to start lowering my dose tonight. A little scared to get off because I have hereditary HB. It was 174/110 prior to the bystolic and is now 116/75. I hope things get better. Don't ever get started on this medication, it's side effects get worse over time. I didn't get side effects the first year and a half I was on it, but now the side effects are the worst I have ever had! F 47 3 years

 5  A Fib & A Flutter Very little. It reduces heart rate and limits upper limit HR during workouts. I take 2.5 MG on days I do not do cardio and take an extra 2.5 MG right after or before cardio workouts. I believe you need to manage the dosage to fit your individual condition. Too high can reduce the HR to uncomfortable levels, for me it was 40 HP. For me it works better than any other drug I have tried. I have had two ablations but still get break thru when I exercise so this drug has been great for me. Cannot do the same level of intense cardio do to reduced heart rate but still adequate.

 1  Hypertension right from the start I experienced dizziness and nausea as well as insomnia My Doctor advised that this is all in my head and to keep taking the medication. For 3 years, I suffered 20 lbs weight gain, dizziness, burning sensation on face and neck, extreme muscle pain and joint pains, depression , constipation, nightmares, chest pain , difficulty breathing and pain in lungs and throat. I finally had enough and weened of the drug slowly but the chest pains and burning in my lungs is still there and I also have a severe shortness of breath and fatigue to the point that making my bed puts me down for at least an hour. I also started irregular heartbeats and pounding heartbeats at times after I stopped this medication. BEWARE AND DON'T TAKE BYSTOLIC. this drug needs to be taken of the market and the company should be sued. F 61 3 years

 1  hbp Insomnia, lack of energy, dizziness I got off this crap very slowly using natural supplements. I am still waiting to see how much improvement I will see because my poor dependent body needs to get used to not having it anymore. But already after a week and a half, I am sleeping better, have more energy and little things are just all round getting better. I have less problems with the feeling of swelling in my mouth, My scalp does not itch near as much. I am still experiencing major tingling in my left side and in my face ever other day. Some of this might be due to the effects of the stroke I had, but things got worse the longer I was on it. They also got worse as the dosage went down and the body cried for more. So we wait and have hope that the problems will go away. I guess from what I have read that it could take a couple months to see real noticeable improvements. M 48 18 months

 1  High blood pressure Dizziness, weakness, extreme fatigue, headache, tremors, double vision, tinnitis, dry mouth, insomnia, strange dreams, joint pain, hair loss, slurred speech, dissociation, extremely slow pulse and PVCs. I felt as though I had been poisoned. I have P450 pathway problems and have had difficulty metabolizing numerous substances, but this was the very worst. A cardiologist assured me it was safe. I was prescribed 10mg but began with 5mg and am glad I never took the full dose. My grandparents and parents all lived into their 90's with bp similar to mine. I am done with doctors!! F 72 60 days

 5  premature ventricular contractions The main "side effect" is that I'm finally sleeping at night! After taking acebutolol for many years to control my pvc's, I requested that my doc switch me to Bystolic since I'd read that it has no effect on melatonin production, unlike most other beta blockers. After having chronic insomnia for multiple years, I'm finally getting decent sleep. I feel that Bystolic has positive effects on my cognition, mood and attention as well, probably due to it's positive effects on nitric oxide, which is very much involved in neurotransmitter function. While it doesn't control my pvc's quite as well as the acebutolol, the other positive aspects of this drug far outweigh the negatives. Other than the high price, which I can minimize by splitting the 10 mg pill, Bystolic has done only good for me, and I wish I'd known about it sooner. If you have an insomnia problem and need to be on a beta blocker, it may be a good option for you. M 54 2 months

 3  blood pressure 150/90 None After experiencing muscle aches and dry cough from another med, doc recommended bistolic so I've been on it for 10 days now...I have never felt better!! I'm very confused though because after reading so many bad reviews, I'm afraid to keep taking it now! I am aware of the fact that side effects show up with frequency of use....hair loss, weight gain..and reading everyone's side effects is so upsetting...I feel sad for everyone...I hate all medications and will try to control with diet and excercise....check out the DASH diet...stands for dietary approaches to stop Hypertension...eat healthy, excercise, no salt!....krill oil 1000 mg daily, and folic acid 400 mg daily...avoid stress,make life changes if necessary..and pray for each other!

 3  Blood pressure Was put on it after stroke. Kept the bp down, Was on it for over a year, then insurance would not pay, so had to try something else, metoprolol, but did not work so back on bystolic Hard to say what is causing the feeling that my vision is all tied up in knots, though still have 20/20 vision. Might be other bp meds that i am on. Since going back on bystolic, noticed the vision anomaly. Kind of like dizziness, but not vertigo. I want off the bp med merry-go-round. Am going to try things like hibiscus tea, hawthorn, celery seed extrac, flaxseed and other naturals to see if what made is better than man-made poison M 47

 2  tachycardia I had high heart rate, so the cardiologist prescribed nebivolol for me. It lowered my heart rate, but I became slower and it lowered my not high sex drive more. The latter days I experienced strange headaches, high fatigue, extreme sleep times, and after them nightmares, panic attacks almost every night with shaking legs, hands, coldness, sweat...horrible. A neurologist gave me xanax. Now i can sleep and I've stopped taking these pills. I started to take vitamine B complex and I hope I can stop taking xanax too. M 27 5 years
